Letter: Who is truly un-American?

Posted: October 4, 2012 - 4:45pm

From an independent: How un-American is it for a man to run for president and not pay his fair share of taxes by banking some — or most — of his millions in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and in Swiss banks?

A man who refuses to release a more full account of his tax returns, as all presidential candidates before him did, does not deserve to be president.

How un-American is it for Mitch McConnell (Republican U.S. senator from Kentucky) to announce that the main job of Congress is to deny President Barack Obama a second term rather than do the job it was elected to do — make a better life for all Americans.

We forget who it was who splurged the huge surplus President Bill Clinton left and then left an economy that is still treading water, not to mention the wars and their costs.
